BENNINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE annual
muster of the Vermont National Guard at
camp Col Seth Warner has opened in
fine shape and a successful drill is prom
ised Guard was mounted at 10 o'clock
last evening and work in earnest com.
menced. Special trains arrived here at 5
and o'clock p. m, bringing the different
organizations of the State comprising the
National Guard of Vermont. The troops,
although somewhat tired, We're all in
good condition. They formed on Depot
square and marched through Main,
School. Pleasant and Park streets to the
camp ground, where they were received
with cheers by the details present.
The routine of duty was taken up this
morning as follows:

Every one who has come in contact with
Quartermaster-Genera Gilmore, has
found him most affable gentleman. Col.
4. >. FORBES Is watching ZealouSly the IN
terests of his journal as well as the officer
on whose staff he has the honor to be.
The weather is a little threatening, but
the camp is situated so that almost any
amount of rain would not make it wet.
DR.. Rutherford, with his assistant, G. S.
Caverly and f. ii. Chapman, are presid-
ing with all their natural tendencies, over
the ills attendant upon camp life and
ministering with the gentleness of a W.
mans hand to the sick and suffering ones.
Very little sickness has thus far been re-
ported.
The cornerstone of the battle monu-
ment is now being made on the monu-
meut grounds. 1t is seven feet long, three
feet wide and two feet and some inches
thick, and will weigh somewhat above
! five tons. The receptacle within it will be
two feet long, one foot wide and eight
| inches deep. In this will be placed a
copper box and within the box will be
| placed documents, books, ne wspapers, etc,
| among them Governor Halls History OF
! Vermont and the Rev. DR.. Jennings's Me
| MORALS of Century. The cap-stone above
| the entrance to the monument. which is on
| the west side, will be made from single
| block weighing upward of II tons. All
the stone will come from quarry N
Sandy Hill.
Mr.. j. Phi. X m, the architect of the
monument has been in Bennington con
| sulting with Senator Valentine of the
| monument committee. 1t is intended
| that 50 feet of the monument will be iiu
ished this season.

graph pole. We arrived in time to see
Murphy, hotel keeper from Galesburg |
climb out of a hole in the top of the first |
chair car. He pulled out his wife and
baby uninjured, but almost exhausted,
having been penned up nearly two hours.
Murphy went back into the hole and
brought out alive IA little baby. He
had torn it from the arms of its
dead mother. After that he helped
out an aged woman whose back
was injured. These five together
with two others were all that were res
cued from that car. The hotel keeper said
his wife was sitting in one seat, himself
and baby in one just behind near the
| front. The baby was knocked off the seat
and he stopped to pick her up rs they shot
into the mass of ruins ahead Just at that
moment timber penetrated the car,
shooting across the place where he had
been sitting and struck a young woman
who sat opposite in the neck. He was
pinned down by the timber which also
| protected him from being smashed and
saved his life. He looked across the aisle
and saw the young woman's head had
fallen over on the back of her seat and
hung only by the skin. Three fourths of
the dead never knew what killed them"
The depot at Peoria was surrounded by
5000 people, waiting for news. All Peoria
Is in tears. There were scores of her best
citizens on the train.
Church said the action of the railroad
officials after the accident was con-
demned by almost everybody. Hun
dreds of people got as far as Forest on
{ ne way to the wreck, but had to walk
the rest Of the distance, six miles. The
slow going trains brought in the dead,
but the wounded and dying were left on
the ground. There was no relief except
that which the partners in grief could
give. They lay in muddy fields all night
with the rain beating down while the
groans aud cries went up in vain. AS fast
rs the baggage could be taken from the
cars no matter whose, it was torn open
and the dresses and shirts appropriated
for bandaQes to dress the wounded and
suffering.
The bodies of 155 have been identified
The most of the dead were from Peoria,
and other neighboring towns. But two
from the East are known to have been
killed, a Mrs Marsh of Syracuse and
Michael Reagan of Binghampton. 1t is
impossible to get the number of the
wounded but it is known to be very large.

THE CAUSE THE HORROR.
Prof Baker Finds the Incendiary Theory
Untenable.

CHICAGO, Aug 14.-The Times special
from Champaign, ILL.,, says j. o. Baker
president of the Illinois society of en-
gineers and professor of civil engineering
in the University of Illinois, returned last
night from careful personal examination
of the engineering problems of the Chats
worth disaster and an examination of the
condition of other bridges and cuverts,
the protection from fire given culverts by
the road officials and the track hands. Said
he: The inceudary theory has no foun-
dation whatever. | was unable to find
any citizens of Chatsworth who have seen
suspicious characters lettering about. The
flames of the burning culvert were plainly
seen from Chatsworth at intervals of sew
eral hours before the accident. From the
lay of the land they must have risen five
or six feet above the track to have been

the bridges from fire. A personal
inspect III along the road for several
miles shows that the grass and weeds
were not all burned off, but many patches
were left unburned and in the Immediate
vicinity of the accident it was more care
lessly done than elsewhere. The culvert
itself was of the usual build and of sufii-
Gent strength to carry the train but for
the fire which had destroyed the lower
portion. Probably the fire left by the
section men late in the afternoon, who by
their own testimony admitted there was
burning grass only 40 rods away, was driven
down to the culverU when they left by a
slight change in the wind. Otherwise it |
was possible that sparks from the special
train of the superintendent OF bridges, the |
last train before the fated excursion, |

burned slowly for long time and finally |
